    Well of course it is insanely difficult to drive a remote control car. And the added difficulty of actually sending a probe to the moon is so difficult that they had to wait 4 years before sending one to land on Mars.

    And to successfully design, build and deploy a bipedal robot which walks across the surface of another world to leave tracks of footprints is much harder. Much easier to send a human.

          Very interesting tracks made by a remotely controlled lunar rover. But where are the footprints?

                There's clear wandering tracks not made by the rover (not paired tracks and not vehicle like nearly-straight or even curvature travel). On the Apollo 17 picture you can clearly see the paired tracks of the rover for comparison, as well as some walking tracks. You can't see individual boot prints but you'd probably just say they were made by a fake boot to keep up impressions anyway :rolleyes: .

                  I expect they sent up some of these marching machines[^] on the remotely controlled rover

                    Well, it's not a task for beginners, given that the moon is a little more than a light second away. The camera images are one second old before you get to see them, then you need a short time to react and then your commands will need another second to reach your remote controlled car. A delay of more than two seconds can easily end in an unavoidable collision and the end of your mission. And remote controlling anything on Mars directly over the distance of several lightminutes makes no sense at all.

                    At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

                      ...but this time, on the Moon![^] Not only did those bipedal lunar-landing-fake-coverup robots deploy a whole load of equipment and drive a lunar rover around, they also planted flags which are still visible from orbit. Amazing what capabilities NASA had in the early 70s, isn't it?

                              If you can't distinguish the difference between the human tracks and the LRV I think you need to head to Specsavers. :cool:

                                  I'm pretty sure they can't produce Mars bars on Mars either.
